Sim 4 + ASW (S16)

[Donkey]

For $3.0M, rank the top 5 players in this upcoming draft and give your reasoning for each player.

 

[Panic!]

Anthony Davis - 18 high pot can defend
Kyrie Irving - 19 high pot probably quick
Klay Thompson - can shoot
Bradley Beal - 18 high pot
Michael Beasley - scorer

 

[Hooper]

1. AD: Obvious 1 guy. Franchise changer
2. Westbrook. Weird build but a pretty sure thing to be nice
3. Klay: 3&D with room to grow
4. Byrie: Assuming he’s all handle and quick and no passing. Ideal PG build for a score first guy
5. Blake. Inside + reb with the pot to grow

 

[Xxplayerxx23]

1- AD superstar. Pretty much every time turns out a top Big. Looks great all aroudn
2- kyrie looks pretty elite. High pot teen. Should be pretty great
3- klay looks to fit what these star wings we already got in.
4- westy-EHHHHHHHHH don’t trust him and his handles + limited upside but if I was close to being ready to compete I think I take a shot here
5- Beal. Upside. 18 high pot, maybe cheese at PG???? Could be really interesting. Sick draft

 

[SoftLettuce]

1. AD - 18 with plenty of pot I'm sure. Already a defensive stalwart.
2. Kyrie - 19 y/o and with a good TC, would be off to a good start scoring
3. Klay - elite 3 & D guy
4. Russ - not a lot of pot, but seems to already be a solid PG
5. Michael Beasley - looks like he's going to be off to a good start in the scoring department as well. Good TC could catapult him into being a superstar.

 

[CLB3]

1. Kyrie- 19 with good scoring high potential, and I hope high handles. I love players with good shooting and high handles
2. AD- 18, highest potential in the draft and probably should be at 1. Good all around build
3. Bradley Beal- 18 and has good scoring and high potential to start.
4. Klay Thompson- Good build of defense and scoring to start. Definitely a safe play here
5. Russell Westbrook- Biggest coin flip, his handles could be devastating and be a waste of a pick. If they get a couple good TC's he could be absolutely dominate though.

 

[Nate]

1. AD. 18 and highest pot. Good bigs are hard to find in this league.

2. Kyrie. Good handles, good scoring. 19 years old.

3. Beal. He’s 18. Has a great scoring base.

4. Klay. Safe play here. Great defense and good scoring base.

5. Russell Westbrook - A gamble that may pay off.

 

[brooks]

1. AD, and it really isn't even close. 18 yr old, fantastic starting build, and highest pot. Clear #1 *unless someone LOVES kyrie)

2. Kyrie Irving. All Kyries are always built the same. High quickness, good handles, and great shooter. Mini steph, if you will. Plus he's 19.

3a. Klay. High shooting and perimeter D ratings, for sure. I'm concerned about his volume, however. I think it will be fine... likely a 20ppg scorer with amazing efficiency at his peak. Good #2 option.

3b. Andre Drummond. Give me the 18 yr old big man that has the potential to be the best rebounder in the league. IDK if his potential breaks the 71+ threshold, but I think it does.

5. Beasley. Mostly because I love him. 22 with high pot.... could end up one of the best scorers of this class. I'd struggle take Russell here with his low pot and high age. idk tho.

 

[notail]

AD- teen with a good base and potential. If he uses his potential for TC, will be an all star big
Irving - has a build to be a great fbb scorer in the most important position in fbb
Klay- we know he has high scoring capabilities and can play defense. Ideal three and D player
Beal - another great scoring teen with chance to be the best of the draft
Drummond - I like him given he’s a gamble that can pay off. Second best big to draft after AD

 

[Eberlicious]

1&2 - AD & Kyrie. Nothing more can be said that hasn't already been said.
3.Beal, give me the high pot teen who can play PG. Beal could end up being the best player in the class.
4. Klay - Same as everyone else
5. Derick Williams: Hes going to be everything he could of been IRL if he was the same dominant force as he was at Arizona

 

[GB]

1. AD - clear number 1 imo. Always dominant in sims and looks no different this time around. Just complete player all around.
2. Kyrie - may never be a great defender but feels like a safe assumption he’s going to be a ridiculously good fbb scorer. Top 5 ppg every year type guy.
3 Klay - besides the top 2 guys, he may have the highest floor AND the highest ceiling. Safe pick with potential to amazing.
4 Beal - little higher risk factor but his scoring should be pretty top notch.
5 Beasley, awesome scorer in college, really good pot. Mostly just want him to be good so speaking it in to existence

 

[yrtb]

1. AD - No brainer he is super well rounded and 18 w/ high POT, should be a superstar and MVP candidate
2. Kyrie - His starting scoring ratings are absurd he'll be scoring 25ppg after a couple TCs easy
3. Klay - His floor is a starting 3&D guy and his ceiling is a star scorer who can also play great defense
4. Beal - Looks kind of similar to Kyrie. His floor is lower but his ceiling is super high given that he's 18. Should score in buckets even if he never plays defense
5. Drummond - Great scoring/rebounding to start. POT is a little lower to the top guys but he'll be dope if he boosts

 

[The Godfather]

AD - it's all been said
Kyrie- hello best PG in draft and PG is most important position
Blake- Love me some Freaky Freaky
Beal - looks like the real deal
Drummond - Big man dominated board.. this guy is a Beast

 

[hokeyrules]

1. AD is a superstar. Looks great all around and will probably end up great like he does in most leagues
2- High pot teen and looks legit. Great outside skills
3- Klay is like all our other great wings. Looks legit a star scorer who can also play D.
4- Beal could be a cheesy PG, 18 and looking stellar
5- Mirotic great outside, great pot and great D

 

[LukaSZN]

AD - duh
Kyrie - although that passing must be dirt
Beal - teen, good base
Beasley - my son
Drummond - teen and bigs at a premium

 

[mngopher35]

1. AD looks like a superstar he is going to be a force for a long time
2. Kyrie is going to be a really good scoring guard it looks like
3. Beal is similar to above with a nice starting base
4. Klay hopefully has nice volume and should be 3/d type wing
5. Drummond is 18 and has a solid base with nice rebounding if he boosts will be very good big

 

[Cloud]

1. Kyrie - more likely to boost, should have superior handles and quickness, also just like him and his build for a sim league
2. AD - still has 2 boost chances and if he double boosts he’s the goat but could also die, good base
3. Klay - already good to begin with, should be elite 3 and D
4. Drummond - could be Shaq-esque with a boost, could be an albatross without one
5. Beal - could play PG, could boost, should score and be p athletic

 

[NCツ]

1. AD - A pot 18 years old, Perfect prospect build for a big imo
2. Beal - A pot 18 years old, POINT GUARD ELIGIBLE THIS TIME
3. Kyrie - A pot 19 years old, gonna be a bucket
4. KCP - prime boost spot with high B pot and 18 years old
5. Drummond - always a great BSL big who can start for a contender for a longggg time. 18 years old and also in a great boost position

 

[G9.]

AD - build + pot to be almost as good as al horford someday
Kyrie - build + pot to be a top 5 pg in short time
Beal - build + pot to be a top 5 sg in short time
Klay - build + pot to be a top 5 sg/sf in short time
Blake - future 25/9 at SF cheese
